Prior to the current public library opening in 1911, the community was served by a small lending library, known as the Takoma Club and Library. That library opened May 1, 1900 on Oak Avenue, across from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad station. The current Takoma Park Branch was built at 416 Cedar Street, NW using a $40,000 gift from Andrew Carnegie.[3] The building is one of four Carnegie-funded library buildings in Washington, D.C.[4][5] The current library stands in the Takoma Park National Register Historic District designated in 1983. The building received an extensive makeover in 2009.[6]
